FYI, this is not possible. The distutils simply will not work correctly
unless you run "setup.py" in the directory where it is located.
You can have the modules in 'src/py-modules' if you like, but setup.py
would have to reside in base_dir.

Add this to your setup() call:
package_dir={'':'src/py-modules'}
And the setup.py will be able to find the modules. You *must*, however,
move setup.py to your base_dir, as it will not work otherwise; there are
too many places in the distutils where the current directory is assumed to
be the same as the setup.py directory.
